A peculiar fate
Today’s post Dreams of a Spirit Seer raises issues discussed in World History And The Eonic Effect, but using a different translation of Kant’s phrase: Visions of a Ghostseer
The issue is encapsulated well in the famous passage from the Critique of Pure Reason:
Human reason has the peculiar fate in one species of its cognitions that it is burdened with questions that it cannot dismiss, since they are given to it as problems by the nature of reason itself, but which it also cannot answer, since they transcend every capacity of human reason.
